Application: Flexible-format voice command (Patent ID: US20240046924A1)
The patent filed by Cerence Inc. describes a voice-based system that can process commands in a flexible format, allowing for the wake word to occur anywhere within an utterance, similar to natural speech. This system can identify commands directed to a system based on processing both audio and video inputs, including visual characteristics associated with the user uttering the command. The method involves further processing of audio inputs to determine the command, identifying acoustic characteristics, and using neural networks trained on audio and video recordings to enhance processing accuracy.
Additionally, the system can be integrated into vehicles to enable assistants to act on commands, utilizing facial characteristics or lip movements of the user for identification. The patent also covers a method for determining when an utterance is not directed to the system, based on the state of the dialog between the system and the user. The voice-based system includes audio and video input devices, along with a computing device to process inputs and trigger system actions based on identified commands. Furthermore, the patent includes instructions stored on a machine-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, enable the system to receive, process, and act on commands directed to the system.
